ITALY

I traveled with friends first to Venice which I immediately fell in love with. And no it didn't smell bad like so many say it does. It is so nice to be able to walk down the streets without any cars in sight (or sound). On my way to Florence, I stopped...

European Getaway

Before arriving in Nice today we stopped off at a French perfumary called Fragonard. We had a tour of the lab, heard about the elusive "Nose", who makes up the purfumes for each factory. Apparently it takes something like 1000kg of flowers ...

Rome and Florence Itlay

My plan was to stay in Dubrovnik and then head to Montenegro on my way to Greece. Well...I ran into travel logistic 'challenges' to say the least. When you look at a map, Dubrovnik to Athens is about the distance from Portland to San Francisco, howev...

A Child's Europe

Gray Paris. We slept in our Volkswagon bus as the rain poured down making signs that we were only partially welcomed. I bought postcards of naked female statues and the Eiffel Tower. We found a dingy pension and ate watery spaghetti....I was satisfied,...
